Chapter 157
Leoric gulped. "Um, Mr. Nicholson, you probably don''t know our boss much. She''s n a—
"Leoric! Watch your tongue!" Baron stopped him before he could finish. Everyone knew Victoria was
a madwoman, and she was cruel and extreme. Everyone in the underworld of Cleapolis knew that,
but Leoric must not say that to Kingsley. That''s his sister. I don''t want Leoric getting on his bad side
because of this.
Kingsley raised his hand and smiled. "It''s alright. You were going to say she''s as fierce and terrifying
as a tigress, weren''t you?"
"How did you know what I was gonna say?" Leoric blurted out, but then he realized what he just
said and covered his mouth.
His face was white, and he waved his hands around frantically. "That''s not what I mean. Our boss is
a gentledy..."
"It''s alright." Kingsley smiled. "I know the kind of woman she is." Victoria was only about eight years
old back then, but she was already the biggest bully around. The kids called her ''boss'' because she
forced them to, and she also made sure they gave her sweets and snacks from time to time. Of
course, Kingsley was the one who had most of the snacks. Victoria would always pat his shoulder
and say proudly, "Kingsley, just tell me if you have any cravings. I''ll ask myckeys to send them
over!"
Because of that, parents woulde to the orphanage with their crying kids andin to
Joseph about what Victoria did. A leopard never changed its spots. Kingsley could see that Victoria
was still as bossy as ever, or she would never have be one of the Seven Legends. A gentle
smile curled his lips, and he said, "You''ll handle this vige now. Tell your boss I''ll see her soon."
"Of course, sir." Leoric wiped the sweat off his head. "I''ll make sure I tell her that. Do you need
anything else, sir?"
Kingsley looked at the time. "I''m here to look for a Sweoyan. Do you know anything about that?" It
was already noon. If a local like Leoric had no clues, he would have to ask Baron''s men to keep
looking.
"A Sweoyan?" Leoric frowned and went through his memories. "Now that you mentioned it, I do
know something. After Kenzo, that b*stard, kicked us out of Crimson Hall, we rented a ce in
Upstream Vige, and there were two guys living next door. I am sure they ain''t the locals, and I
overheard their conversation a few times. Thenguage sounds like the ones I hear in anime. I bet
they''re Sweoyans."
Kingsley''s eyes shone. "That''s them, I bet!"
"They rented a ce too, and under the samendlord. Want me to call thendlord over and find
out more?"
"Sure." Kingsley nodded. "First, I want to know how many of them are there. The more intel I have,
the better I can n."
Leoric took his phone out and called hisndlord.
Baron huddled closer and asked, "What about us, boss? Should wee with you?"
"No," Kingsley said. "I called you guys here to search for them. Now that I have a lead, I''d prefer
moving in a small team. I don''t want to alert them. Your mission is over.
Just handle Kenzo and hisckeys." "I''ll make sure they get the special treatment," Baron said, then
took his men and left right away. The guy did not want toe in the first ce. Now that Kingsley
had permitted him to leave, he took that chance and scurried away.
At this moment, Leoric had ended the call. He came back to Kingsley and said, "Thendlord will be
here in about fifteen minutes, sir."
Yvonne chimed in, "You guys shoulde in and wait. I''ll get some water for you."
"Sure." Kingsley nodded. "I''d like to see if I can heal your father."

Yvonne''s eyes widened in surprise. "Y-You''re a doctor?"
"I know a bit of the ancient healing methods," Kingsley said humbly. "If your father''s spine isn''t too
badly hurt, he can still regain the ability to stand and walk."
"R-Really?" Yvonne''s face was red with excitement, and the worship in her eyes was almost
palpable. "A-Are you a god, mister?"
